I have to admit, I just can't keep up with these videos, it's too much all at once. I don't know if anyone else has the same problem, but it's really frustrating. x_x

Don't worry too much about trying to absorb it all in one go - that -would- be too much (especially if you are new to kanji)! If you are new to all of these words and kanji, pause the video at each slide to give everything more time to sink in. Go back and watch the video every few days and you might find yourself remembering and recognizing the kanji! Ganbatte kudasai★
